THE LONDON' JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS mom THE MORNING PAPERS, Jusx 15, 1826.. [THE TIMES. 3 Letters recently received front different parts of Smith America disclose a preselyting scheme of the Jesuits, which is said to hire been acted upon for entity time with considerable success. Lay agents orthese intriguing priests embark on bowl the French ships which visit the emote of South America. On their arrivel they study to insinuate themselves into the confidence or the Kin' eipal netive end whet) they succeed, which but too often happens, they suggest to the parents that their children, especially the boys, senad be greatly benelitted by a European education, recommended the sending tlitirt: to the establishments of the Jesuit*, and as an inducement; offer a passage to France, free of expedite. • Thie tivbeme has been carried • into execution in various parts of what wet formerly 54panish America, but the success of the disciples of Loyola has been meet signal in the dominions of Don Pedro, where the nature of the Gore:mu-tett is doithtleSs more favourable to the eatenaion of ecclesiastical influence, and the jealous); of French interference less than in the new Republican States. it is ►aid that in pursuance of .the plan of the Jesuits, about 200 youths have already been conveyed from Rio Janeiro to France. The system by which this seduction has been effetted ttonld not have been so iticieutly organized without the sanction of persons in authority iu France. It is in vain, therefore, that the French clergy pro- Otani their adherence to the principles of the Ciallican Church, ‘.vhile their Goverritnent remains unequivocally nuclei' the dotal ' ' l6 ion of the Jesuits. But the most serious consideration is the per " ie.ous political influence which may thus be tic Aired by a body of artful priests, hostile to . intercourse with this country, the United States, and every quarter whence ideas of civil and rail gins freedom may come. They will send bark their pupils im bued with all their esprit du cops, and well instructed how to propagate their principles. Ulm can tell what may he the result of the unremitting efforti,or a bcxly so crafty and so well ible to take advantage of the prejudices of an ignorgut and extremely supersti tious population e . Our readers will se that in the great and poWerful county of York, the appeal to public feeling has already epentd, and under eircumstances not apparently inauspicious to the cause of just and liberal policy. Contrast being that son of figure which force itself tuost irresistibly on the imagination, we have been deeply struck by that which itallibited itself in the speeches of Lord Mil ton anti of the Mayor of Leeds, ibichlatter gentleman came for. ward to propose Mr. Wilson as the " No Popery" candidate for Vorkshint. The Noble Lord having offered his view of Revolu. 'tionary history, which regarded the restrictions on Catholic subjects a rather incidents than essential to the change from a King of tr. biteary principles, being also a Papist, to one of more tolerance, or perhaps indifference, in religion, but satisfied to exercise a locative limited by the laws. Mr. Mayor would dispense his torical knowledge in a different spirit from that of the Whig Nobleman who had preceded him. The Learned Mayor ten; the freeholders of Yorkehire, that it is their duty to sup.. port the Constitution, and that the Constitution " is the law of the ;fwd.' . Very reasonable, trt 'ty ! So therefore, upon the same Oo.Npery principle,. it wu the tyof our ancestors at ell prriod ainee the Revolution to suppor the then " law of the land," in whatever way it affected the Catholics...that law of the *sod " being ,pro tampon the Constitution" in Church and Stele. If ao, then our fetid ancestors ought, , in their several generations, to hive been ashamed of themselves; for verily they have, since the tines] of King William, effected sundry changes in the laws of Pnglentl, as the Catholics stood affected by those laws. A Catholic priest was within a century a felon for being found in Greet Britain A Catholic, if discovered to be sueh, could not. her a xonimission in 'army or navy ; now he may be Cern maniler-ineChief.

If a Corporation can subscribe a thousari'd pounds from the Corporation fonds towards the cipences of a Coulidate, it may subscribe the whole property for election or other pur pose.; nay, it may fairly divide it at,onc m e among its MRIIII/011. What would be thought of the Corporation of the (ity of LOodon —one of the most corrupt Oldie bodies in the kingdom4--were it, at an election for the office of Chamberlain or Common Ser e ieant, to vote a sum from its funds to assist one of the Candidates in his vulvae,? The thing is namst rout I It is gratifying to perceive that the prople,of Northampton mark, by their votes, their indiguation at the etmduct of both the Corporation and their Candidate. Sir R.

The etree;reacenee is the drunken gaiety of the *love, who has received his t i v i n k, ro o noi from a new purchaser. But so completely have our minds been corrupted by the degrad ing...practices to which eur mestere have accustomed us, that net merely the ordinary run of writers look on these practices with complacency, but sensible travellers, who declare themselves par firma of freedom, speak in taints of reprobation of the feature in the relations betWetei the People and their Representatives in other counteies, which peculiarly denotes, that the representation is really free. Thus, foe instance, in a volume of Trarela just published, entitled, " Lion hunting," the author,- in•describing the Legislature of the Netherton* observes— . . • • " The Lower ilottse consists only of oneinunired and ten Mein- hers, of whom half-are elected by - the Northern; and the other by the Southern States. The extent and population of each Stete regulate the number of Members which each is entitled to nomi nate. One (handing feature in the character of this Asseinbly, Arises front the circumstance of each of its Members receiving 5,400 francs of salsty from the Government." This is the language which ninety-nine Englishmen out -of every hundred would hold. It would be degrading to .pay. their Representative, but it is not degrading to make that Representa tive pay for his situation 20,000/. ! Is it degrading to pay a Judge, or any other officer who devotes himself to tIM public ? What would be thought of a Judge paying for his situation instead of receiving par? Would not the inference. be, that the Judge who paid for hit situation would contrive to indemnify himself in some way or other, either in meal or malt? And does not the Representative who buys his situation indemnify himself, either by giviug his vote for the promotion of his own particular inte reet, or by neglecting the people? is.it not notorious that Mem . hers of Parliament, With one or two exceptions, consider their attendance as entirely optional With themselves? That they do not,eonsidee themselves in the light of servants having a definite fluty to discharge, and accountable to their constituents for the manner in which they discharge it ? Would Deputies, veld by the people fur their attendance, dare to give as mush or as little of their time to the public 'busiitess as they thought fit? Oh no. Rut these slavish notions come of the situation in which the people are plated:._ Whet remains of independence in the . country is tainted by the wide lipreading servility which surrounds it. It is easy to blame the people for these things, hut th e y w ill b e foetid to flow necessarily from the political state of the country. The people feel that they have not -a sufficient influence in. Elec tions to determine the nature of the Representation, but they feel deo that they ale instruments to a certain extent in the process by Which the Representation is effected. They cannot prevent the public from being the prey of the interested, mud, therefore, like the peasant,. whit, on seeing his stores of food fast (neap« peering under the heavy attacks of a foragitig party, joined their mess that he might not lose all. Where they have an opportunity they seem to think it not unreasonehlt that they should avail themselves of the only cLance of getting Intek a little of their own. [TIDE 1110 It irznAti).] The Judges of the Court of King's Bench, it crews, arc equally divided upon this question...-viz,., whether a person hiring r.. pair of post homes is liable for the acts of the driver? if we thought that there were a shadow of law connected with its deeittion, we would not presume to interpose between the doubts of such high authorities ;, but taking it, se we du, to be merely a matter of common sense, we apprehend, that people in general ran come but to one conclusion, in common with the I.ord Chief Justice, and Mr. Justice Littledale, as Ir:11 as with the Jury who tried the casts—viz., that persons vvho have a driver and u pair of forced upon them, in whom they have no property, or choice, and over whom they have little or no caldron', must be contented, if they have. not their. own necks broken, and cannot he in any way responsible - for any other mischief such driver and hones may he the cause of. if' tine were otherwise any passenger in a stage-coach, and any pernun getting into a. hackney-coach, would be responsible for the nets of the drunken driver, or the sorry unmanageable steed, by which their own lives hasie been enda►gered. The two learned Judges who differ front their colleagues' upon the occasion, appear to proceed upon an idea of the temporary controul which the hirer possesses over the driver. But even this is imaginary --the post•horse duty decides that matter; for, a man who has hired a pair of horses to take him to ilounalow, cannot go to Bernet or to Rumford, without subjecting himself, or rather, the owner of the horses, to a pro'wcution from the titamp-oftice. In short, the worthies who drive post-horses, and public conveyances, take opportunities enough of showing their temporary paymasters, that they are not their servants; and to suppose a man revolt. sihie for that over which he has no controls', is contrary to every ps itwiple t,f reason and common!tiense.--- ['Tim nittvisu 't he principles a Welt we have avowed. with regard to the stie,Os tient; are sotheiently tolerant ; but while we are willing to admit the merit of individuals whose opinions are different front our own, we de not mean to extend that indulgence to caws in which neither ability nor integrity .can, be pleaded. While we lament the errors of eenatons like Brougham, Mackintosh, Hume, Ice.; we detest the factious and inconsistent behaviour of such been as limit and Cobbett. cannot agree with. Sir Francis Burdett and Sir Robert when they flatter the passions of a Weet.' ininster or, a Southwark:mob, by tirade's against the. Stotelt and Government; but we , reeuguil,e with pleasure many generous trek* in their characters, which do honour to the English as a nation. In such men as Una end Cobbett, if we except the la culty, which they certainly pewits, of producing an impresiduit upon crowd, we can see lame of these redeeming qualities; we rat give, them credit neither fur depth of penetration Mir generosity of purpose. We ehouldrartainlylement the admission of such men as these to the deliberative' assembly of a great nation ; but we have too much coufidenctin the sound judgment of the English people, even among the lowest orders, to suppose for a moment diet such will be the result of the election in Samereet, er at Preston. Our country.• men may smile at the shrewdness of Cobbett and the impudence of linnt; init they, are too well aware of the necessity of other quell-, ties in their Repreeentatives ever to confide their interests to such demagogues as these, and we consider it almost superfluous.: to make any remarks on the subject, In this respect, as well as on sonattuther recent occaaione, we Wive been led to differ from those who generelly agree with us in their opinions, We never thought it probable that these men would be successful, and, we should al. most consider it a libel on the English people to intimate such a etspiciou. The poll at Preston has hitherto justified us in our conclusions, - and, till the relative situation of tint cendidates suffer avert/ considerable alteration, - we shall not, probably, think it ne.' eeseary again ets whirrs' the public on the subject. it must be extremely gratifying to all friends of social order to !emit that the' Yorkshire filection is not to be contested. For our parts we sem set no differentia of opinion between the contending parties in molt of eleetions, sufficient to justify a Candidate in pruvoking popular contest which could answer no purpose, if retried on suc cessfully, but that of personal aggrandiument. . .

Mr. jergeant SPA XKIt lad obtained a rule an a previous day, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why this trial should not. be postponed till the sittings after next 'Alichaelipas Tenn, On account of the absence of- some material witnesics in' Italy. Mr. Sergeant VAUWIAN now showed 'cause: against the rule; on affidavit. This was a case of great importance to the plaintiff, as regarded his character, his peace of mind, and all that" was dear to hint. The cause was to have been tried at the Sittings after last Easter T e rm, when. it wag postponed by eppliegunt on the affidavit of the defendant, which set out that it was necessary he should he ebbe to produce certain papers, in the possession of a notary at Naples. The nature of these paper* however, was not explained ; it was not shown that they would hear it all Do thus ease ; hut if they did,. the defendant htul plenty of time since he had retired notice of trial to obtain them. The same observation would apply to the witnesses, who, it wee said, could not be got to this country. The statement in the affi davits, regarding the witnesses, was curious enough. The.de fondant said that they, beim! , gentlemen, some of them of distinc lion, could not he expected to rim the risk of passing the Pontine marshes, and the Campagna di Rome, at a season when the disease peculiar to these places was most prevalent. Surely the defendant could have obtained his document, at least. Cou riers were in the habit of passing these towns, and the papers surely would not have been infected. On the part of the plaintiff there was an affidavit in answer to this, stating that there was an eastern or upper road, which the witnesses might take. One of the witnesses was wanted to contradict some 'auppoled libellous rumours, which bad appeared in the public papers, and which the defendant feared might hate excited a. prejudice against hint; hut this was evidence which could not be received. nhetever these rumours were, they had their origin from uffidevita made in the Court of Chancery ; the plaintiff lied not in any way caused their circulation. Then, it was said, that there had beep sons official cominunication with Sir Charles Stewart, who had oppor tunities of making certain observations at the Valais Royal; but this was idle and abt•ard.. The affidavit, on the part of the de fendant, said, there wee no foundation for the asserted ill health of the plaintiff; kit there was another affidavit on the pat of the plaintiff, which distinctly stated that .the plaintiff was in a very precarious state ; his lunge were affected, and in fact he was certainly afflicted with a pulmonary consumption. tinder the . ie eircumstancea, Mr. Sergeant Vaughan hoped the Court would dis charge the rule. , fiergeent StANICIA argued in +support of the rule. The defendant did not suppose that the plaintiff had in any way lent himself to the circulation of the reports referred to ; but they were nererthelese injurious. The defendant lied not an opportu nity of compelling the appearance of these gentlemen by snbpmna, they being on the Continent. It was said that there bad been outfi tient time to obtaitilliem ; but the eflidevit set forth that it was only just discovered that the evidence of three of the ivitnessei was material.

" It *as at the Bull's Head in Smithfield we was—Mr. Grant and tuesolf, that afternoon," said he, "and there was a bit of a talk between us in respect to manhood, and I said one thing was it, and Mr. Grant said another—bekase, place tour Worship, we didn't agree comfortable what it was exactly.

Grant he might think himself ►ery lucky that he was not standing at the bar on a charge of murder. 44 Well then, yure Honour," said Mr. Grant, " sure we was ould hinds and countrymen—that Underarm and meself ; and be jest give me a pelt on the butt of me ear as I was taking. a drink, and the pot being jest then all out, sure I give him a bit of a clout wit it, in me sun defince, place your Honour; and I'll as yore Honour's pardon, 'and his, if he'll tonsint to let tue off this tvutist.” Mr. Gralta.nt hete brgan to repent having instituted a pronto'. tion against his friend for such a trifling ofience.—" I think he'd a murthert me if help hatrnt come," said be ; " but since I've got better 1 don't wish to he bard upon him by no manes ; and I'd thank your Worship to let him off ainey." The worthy Alderman told them he should do no such thing. There had been a flagrant breach of the King's peace; and how ever trifling such a sanguinary affair might appear to an Irishman, he could not allow it to pass unnoticed. Mr, Grata was therefore ordered to find bail, and not being prepared to do so, he was sent back to prison. MARLBORQUGH-STREET.— -- Boyle, the landlord of the Robin I-food, in Church -street, St. Gilts's, was yesterday brought before Sir Gaortux Faitnas:T under the following cir cumstances Oh Tuesday afternoon General Burt was' walking along Broad street, St. Giles s,' when a felloW, without a coat, in running past horn seized his watch chain and its appendages (wor•_1120!.) ; and after two or three bard tugs the chain broke, and he escaped with his booty. The General immediately applied to Maurice Nicholson, a constable, and he, from► the description he received of the thief from a girl of the town, named Elizabeth Thompson, who hid witnessed the transaction, succeeded in apprehending him, one ito/phlly. The constable and his prisoner, and the witness ThoMpson, were, Ave believe, at the defendant's (Boyle'e) house, when he (Boyle) called the Witnesses'; - times," and instigated soma pertuno, , who were. there assembled, to maltreat the said witnesses, and the consequence was, that the prisoner escaped. S.h. G. Faansrr 'expressed himself very indignant at the conduct of the defendant, and ordered him to find bail, and give 48 hours' notice of such buil. . • SHOCKING SUICIDES. Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Sun. Tor, the corth• ner of London, at the Workhouse, in Dunning's Alley, Bishops gate-street, on view of the body of a poor woman, named Cathe rine Smith, who put a period to her existence, under the followirI• dreadful and distressing circumstances —Mr, Smith, the hosband of the deceased woman, some years ago, turned her out of doors, and took iu ber steel another woman by whom he has a family. 'l'lw reason Mr. Smith had for Cleserting his wife was left unexnlained. Repeated applications were made to Smith who is a respectable gunsmith, in the Minorieu, both by his wife, ;nu, several of her frientla, fur a suitable maintenance ; but he peremptorily refused to allow her any, and the poor creature was necessitated to procure a miserable existence in the streets, by selling matches; and a wretched hovel in Angel Alley, Bishopsgate-; street, was her abode at night. 'There was, not an atom,of furniture in the room; a large granite stone was the- only thing this poor woman had to sit upon, and a bundle of filthy rags to rest her bones upon at night. Her wretched situation often seemed to affect her feelings, and she has been heard by the neighbours to stamp on the floor, and exclaim, "Oh my cruel husband oh my cruel William, how can yo,u serve your poor wife.so ? She was often observed to tear her hair front her head in a most wild manner on these occasions. •On Monday afternoon, she and another woman came home together, and both went to sleep on the rags in one corner of the room, and, on the Woman opening her eyes, she missed the deceased ; and, looking round the. room, she was horroesstruck at finding her hanging by a handkerchief from a nail'hehind the - door. She caused an im mediate al..rtn, and some ,persons came to her assistance, and the poor woman was cut down, but the vital spark had fled int ever.— It appeared that this miserable woman had been in the morning to seek some relief front her•relentless husband ; but he was inex orable, and she was heard to declare that she could no longer stand her wretchedness. The Jury deplored the distressing cir cumstance, and after some observations on the husband's conduct, returned a verdict of "Insanity." • FEMALE.SUICADE, 7 —An Inquest was, held at St. Bartholomew's Ifuspital, on the body of Lydia, Bardeson, aged 21, a tine young woman who poisoned herself. About &fortnight ago the sister of the deceased received her (deceased) into her house fur the purpose of instructing her in the butinew of waistcoat making. Shortly afterwards she.becume acquainted with a young man who lodged in the house, an d wilt) promised her marriag e , D ur i ng the period of her a cq ua i n t ance w ith thi s person, site negle c t e d h er business, and her tinter in consequence forbid her the house. The deceased then took lodgings in another house, and on Friday last she sent fir sister, and informed her, that she had been slighted by her lover, and was in consequence very unhappy, and was tired of,life. She cried very much, and on her sister leaving her, she said, Good bye, it will be the last time you will see ins." Shortly afterwards she sent for her sister, who on her arrival found her labouring under the effects of poison, and she died won niter wards,. AVitnesees having been called, who proved that the de ceased was insane at the time she committed the act, the Jury returned a verdict to that effect. Marriage was once a merry age ; but matrinionY is Am a matter 9f money. —Dit.
